Thread: Hard disk interference noise. (long)

Hmm, I tried a bit of digging in google, and the closest I found was this: http://www.epanorama.net/documents/g..._building.html

It's for radio antenna isolators, but I reakon the principle is the same. (?)

Also, I found a ground loop isolator for less then £15. It's about £4 to be exact, so I'm gonna get it anyway, so even if it doesn`t work, it's only £4. Link: http://custom1.farnell.com/cpc/produ...5Fid=AR7027066

By the way, I've only ever seen the type that plugs into the RCA's, aswell, never seen or heard of another type until now. I'm getting a alternator whine from the speakers from the speakers when my engine is running. In the meantime, I`m using my other amp, the one which doesn`t have any buzzing or noise, but I can`t have it too loud since it's now running at 2ohms (eg, 4 speakers on 2 channels), and It could fry some of the components in the amp if I crank it up too much.

Now youhave to remember that the RCA ground loop isolators (the ones I bought) are almost like a crossover and actually can filter out some of the sound you do want. I haven't tried the gound loop isolator that plugs into the amp but I am interested if anyone has tried it before please do post here and let us know if it's worth it.

Hard drives have magnetic fields!

Magnetic fields can cause noise!

I think the magnet in the hard drive is causing the noise!
